Morning Briefing: Gold and Silver Under Pressure; Heliostar Reports High-Grade Gold at Ana Paula

Silver's 6.4% weekly drop and a resolved Chile copper strike frame a day of scattered high-grade exploration and resource-expansion news across junior miners.

• Metals pull back on inflation: Hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data rattled markets; gold fell ~0.7%, silver dropped 6.4%, copper declined ~1% last week, with gold stabilizing near $4,200 and silver facing resistance at $59.
• Chile strike resolved: A 10-day strike at Antofagasta's Centinela copper project ended after 94.5% of workers approved a new labor deal; the company says production stayed normal throughout.
